That most likely reason is that you use gnome and gnome-keyring pretends
to be gpg-agent.  You can change the configuration of gnome-keyring to
not emulate gpg-agent.

In another thread I just mentioned this pseudo-security behaviour.  Even
the most trivial keylogger will then be able to sniff your passphrase.
But well, keyloggers are not trivial anymore, thus you are doomed
